Farmers do not like crows (乌鸦) because these birds eat newly-planted seeds (种子). They are afraid that they will not have anything left in autumn if the birds eat up all the seeds.It is hard for farmers to get close enough to kill crows. Crows have very good eyes and good hearing. They are also very careful. While some are eating the newly-planted seeds, others sit on the tallest trees around the fields. "Caw-caw-caw," cries the first crow to see farmers coming. All the other "lookout" crows join in the crying and then, in no time at all, there is not a crow to be seen. Farmers have found several ways to kill crows. But it is good that there are still crows about. These birds are our friends. They pay for the seeds they eat by killing pests(害虫). One pest, for example, can eat up several plants in a few hours. With thousands of them at work in one night, we might find ourselves without food to eat. This is why we should not try to kill off the crow.56.

考研英语一阅读真题及答案Section II Reading ComprehensionPart ADirections:Read the following four texts. Answer the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET. (40 points)Text 1France, which prides itself as the global innovator of fashion, has decided its fashion industry has lost an absolute right to define physical beauty for woman. Its lawmakers gave preliminary approval last week to a law that would make it a crime to employ ultra-thin models on runways.The parliament also agreed to ban websites that" incite excessive thinness" by promoting extreme dieting.Such measures have a couple of uplifting motives. They suggest beauty should not be defined by looks that end up with impinging on health. That's a start. And the ban on ultra-thin models seems to go beyond protecting models from starring themselves to health -as some have done. It tells the fashion industry that it move takeresponsibility for the signal it sends women, especially teenage girls, about the social tape -measure they must use to determine their individual worth.The bans, if fully enforced ,would suggest to woman (and many men )that they should not let others be orbiters of their beauty .And perhaps faintly, they hint that people should look to intangible qualities like character and intellect rather than dieting their way to sine zero or wasp-waist physiques .The French measures, however, rely too much on severe punishment to change a culture that still regards beauty as skin-deep-and bone-showing. Under the law, using a fashion model that does not meet agovernment-defined index of body mess could result in a $85,000 fine and six months in prison.The fashion industry knows it has an inherent problem in focusing on material adornment and idealized body types. In Denmark, the United States, and a few other countries, it is trying to set voluntary standard for models and fashion images there rely more on pear pressure for enforcement.In contrast to France's actions, Denmark's fashion industry agreed last month on rules and sanctions regarding age, health, and other characteristics of models .The newly revised Danish FashionEthical charter clearly states, we are aware of and take responsibility for the impact the fashion industry has on body ideals, especially on young people. The charter's main toll of enforcement is to deny access for designers and modeling agencies to Copenhagen. Fashion week, whichis men by the Danish Fashion Institute .But in general it relies on a name-and -shame method of compliance.Relying on ethical persuasion rather than law to address the misuse of body ideals may be the best step. Even better would be to help elevate notions of beauty beyond the material standards of a particular industry.21. According to the first paragraph, what would happen in France?[A] Physical beauty would be redefined[B] New runways would be constructed[C] Websites about dieting would thrive[D] The fashion industry would decline【答案】A【解析】推断题。

大学英语一阅读理解一、阅读理解（共 505 题,共 101 分）1. Few laws are so effective that you can see results just days after they take effect. But in the nine days since thefederal cigarette tax more than doubled —to $1. 01 per pack — smokers have jammed telephone“ quit crosslines” a the country seeking to kick the habit.This is not a surprise to public health advocates. They’ ve studied the effect of state tax increases for years, finding that smokers, especially teens, are price sensitive. Nor is it a shock to the industry, which fiercely fights every taxincrease.The only wonder is that so many states insist on closing their ears to the message. Tobacco taxes improve publichealth, health, they raise money and most particularly, they deter people from taking up the habit as teens, whichis when nearly all smokers are addicted. Yet the rate of taxation varies widely.In Manhattan, for instance, which has the highest tax in the nation, a pack of Marlboro Light Kings cost ＄ 10.06 at onedrugstore Wednesday. Charleston, S, C., where the 7-cent-a-pack tax is the lowest in the nation. The price was $4. 78.The influence is obvious.In New York, high school smoking hit a new low in the latest surveys—13.8%, far below the national average. Bycomparison, 26% of high school students smoke in Kentucky, Other low-tax states have similarly depressing teen-smoking records.Hal Rogers, Representative from Kentucky, like those who are against high tobacco taxes, argues that the burden ofthe tax falls on low- income Americans“ who choosesmoketo.”That ’ s true, But there is more reason in keeping future generations of low-income workers from getting hooked inthe first place, As for today’ s adults, if the new tax drives them to quit, they will have more to spend on theirfamilies, cut their risk of cancer and heart disease and feel better.（1分）(1) The text is mainly about___________.（0.2分）A.the price of cigarettesB.the rate of teen smokingC.the effect of tobacco tax increaseD.the differences in tobacco tax rate标准答案：C(2) What does the author think is a surprise?（0.2分）A.Teen smokers are price sensitive.B.Some states still keep the tobacco tax low.C.Tobacco taxes improve public health.D.Tobacco industry fiercely fights the tax rise.标准答案：B(3) The underlined word "deter Paragraph”in 3 most probably means . （ 0.2 分）A.discardingB.removeC.benefitD.free标准答案：A(4) Rogers’ attitude towards the low-income smokers might be that of .（0.2分）A.toleranceB.unconcernC.doubtD.sympathy标准答案： D(5) What can we learn from the last paragraph? （ 0.2 分）A.The new tax will be beneficial in the long run.B.Low-income Americans are more likely to fall ill.C.Future generations will be hooked on smoking.D.Adults will depend more on their families.标准答案： A2.

A major breakthrough in his research came when he dreamed of an experiment three nights in a row. The first two nights he woke up and wrote down the experiment quickly and untidily on paper. But the next morning, he couldn't tell what the notes meant. On the third night, he got up after having the dream. This time, instead of making notes he went straight to his laboratory and performed the important experiment. Loewi later said that if the experiment had occurred to him while awake he would not have given it another thought.Loewi's experiment gives some insight into using dreams to produce creative solutions. Nervous feelings are reduced during dreaming, which may be especially useful in solving problems that require a fresh point of view. Being able to take advantage of dreams for solving is improved if you "set" yourself before retiring. Before you go to bed, try to think intently about a problem you wish to solve. Bury yourself in the problem by stating it clearly and reviewing all relevant information. Then use the suggestions listed in the previous section to catch your dreams. Although this method is not guaranteed to produce an original solution or a new insight, it is certain to be an adventure. About half of a group of college students using the method for a week recalled a dream that helped them solve a personal problem. （ 1 分）(1) Through Loewi's experiment, the author tries to prove that .（ 0.2 分）A.very little is really known about the meaning of dreamsB.it is possible to "catch" one's dreams by planning before going to sleepC.dreams can be useful in producing creative solutions to one'sproblems D.it helped in the study of transmission of nerve impulses 标准答案： C(2) The first paragraph is mainly organized by .（0.2分）A.classifying types of experimentsB.summarizing the work of one researcherparing and exploring historical casesD.telling in time order about one man's research标准答案：D(3) If Loewi had thought of the experiment while awake, he would have .（ 0.2 分）A.asked someone else to do itB.thought it was a bad ideaC.tried it out on his ownD.thought it was a wise idea标准答案：B(4) The author probably thinks that .（0.2分）A.Loewi should not have conducted his experimentB.dreaming is of very little value to most peopleC.nervous feelings may stop someone thinking of useful ideasD.college students should not try out dream experiments标准答案：C(5) According to the passage, the author seems to be in favor of .（0.2分）A.seeking creative solutionsB.avoiding scientific experimentsC.nervous feelings before dreamsD.becoming a famous scientist标准答案：A5. Federal regulators Wednesday approved a plan to create a nationwide emergency alert ( 警报 ) system using textmessages delivered to cell phones.Text messages have exploded in popularity in recent years,particularly among young people.The wireless industrytrade association,CTIA,estimates ( 估计 ) more than 48 billion text messages are sent each month.The plan comes from the Warning Alert and Response Network Act,a 2006 federal law that requires improvement to thenation ’ s emergency alert system.The act tasked the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) with coming upwith new ways to alert the public about emergencies.“ The ability to deliver accurate and time ly warnings and alerts through cell phones and other mobile services isan important next step in our efforts to help ensure that the American public has the information they need to takeaction to protect themselves and their families before,and during,di sasters and other emergencies,” FCC Chairman Kevin Martin said following approval of the plan.Participation in the alert system by carriers－telecommunications companies－is voluntary,but it has received solidsupport from the wireless industry.The program would be optional for cell phone users.They also may not be charged for receiving alerts.There would be three different types of messages,according to the rules.The first would be a national alert from the president,likely involving a terrorist attack or natural disaster.The secondwould involve“ approaching threats” ,which could include natural disasters like hurricanes or storms or even university shootings.The third would be reserved for child abduction ( 绑架 ) emergencies,or so-called Amber Alerts.The service could be in place by 2010. （1 分）(1) What is the purpose of the approved plan?（0.2分）A.To warn people of emergencies via messages.B.To popularize the use of cell phones.C.To estimate the monthly number of messages.D.To promote the wireless industry.标准答案：A(2) The improvement to the present system is in the charge of .（0.2分）A.CTIAB.the Warning Alert and Response NetworkC.FCCD.federal regulators标准答案：C(3) The carriers’ participation in the system is determined（by0.2.分）A.the US federal governmentB.mobile phone usersC.the carriers themselvesD.the law of the United States标准答案：C(4) Which of the following is true of cell phone users?（0.2分）A.They must accept the alert service.B.They may enjoy the alert service for free.C.They must send the alerts to others.D.They may choose the types of messages.标准答案：B(5) An alert message will NOT be sent if .（0.2分）A.a child loses his wayB.a university shooting happensC.a natural disaster happensD.a terrorist attack occurs标准答案：A6.

In 1993, the owners of a large hotel andof several houses discovered, to their horror, that their gardens had disappeared overnight. The sea had eateninto the soft limestone cliffs on which they had been built. While experts were studying the problem, the hotel and several houses disappeared altogether, sliding down the cliff and into the sea.Erosion ( 侵蚀 ) of the white cliffs along the south coast of England has always been a problem but it has becomemore serious in recent years. Dozens of homes have had to be abandoned as the sea has crept farther and farther inland. Experts have studied the areas most affected and have drawn up a map for local people, forecasting theyear in which their homes will be swallowed up by the hungry sea.Angry owners have called on the Government to erect sea defenses to protect their homes. Government surveyors have pointed out that in most cases, this is impossible. New sea walls would cost hundreds of millions of pounds and would merely make the waves and currents go further along the coast, shifting the problem from one area to another. The danger is likely to continue, they say, until the waves reach an inland area of hard rock which will not be eatenas limestone is. Meanwhile, if you want to buy a cheap house with an uncertain future, apply to a house agent in oneof the threatened areas on the south coast of England. You can get a house for a knockdown price but it may turnout to be a knockdown home. （ 1 分）(1) What is the cause of the problem that people living on parts of the south coast of England face?（ 0.2 分）A.The disappearance of hotels, houses and gardens.B.The experts’ lack of knowledge.C.The rising of the sea level.D.The washing-away of limestone cliffs.标准答案： D(2) The erosion of the white cliffs in the south of England ________.（ 0.2 分）A.will soon become a problem for people living in central EnglandB.has now become a threat to the local residentsC.is quickly changing the map of EnglandD.can be stopped if proper measures are taken标准答案： B(3) The experts’ studythe onproblem of erosion can ________. （ 0.2 分）A.lead to its eventual solutionB.provide an effective way to slow it downC.help to prevent it from worseningD.warn people whose homes are in danger标准答案：D(4) It is not feasible to build sea defenses to protect against erosion because ________.（0.2分）A.it is too costly and will endanger neighbouring areasB.the government is too slow in taking actionC.they will be easily knocked down by waves and currentsD.house agents along the coast do not support the idea标准答案：A(5) According to the author, when buying a house along the south coast of England, people should ________.（ 0.2分）A.be aware of the potential danger involvedB.guard against being cheated by the house agentC.take the quality of the house into considerationD.examine the house carefully before making a decision标准答案：A9. Americans are pound of their variety and individuality, yet they love and respect few things more than a uniform, whether it is the uniform of an elevator operator or the uniform of a five-star general．Why are uniforms so popular in the United States?Among the arguments for uniforms, one of the first is that in the eyes of most people they look more professionalthan civilian （百姓的） clothes ． People have become conditioned to expect superior quality from a man who wears a uniform ． The television repairman who wears uniform tends to inspire more trust than one who appears in civilian clothes ． Faith in the skill of a garage mechanic is increased by a uniform ． What easier way is there for a nurse, a policeman, a barber, or a waiter to lose professional identity （身份） than to step out of uniform? Uniforms also have many practical benefits． They save on other clothes ． They save on laundry bills ． They are tax-deductible （可减税的）． They are often more comfortable and more durable than civilian clothes.Primary among the arguments against uniforms is their lack of variety and the consequent loss of individuality experienced by people who must wear them． Though there are many types of uniforms, the wearer of any particular type is generally stuck with it, without change, until retirement ． When people look alike, they tend to think, speak, and act similarly, on the job at least.Uniforms also give rise to some practical problems ． Though they are long-lasting, often their initial expense is greater than the cost of civilian clothes ． Some uniforms are also expensive to maintain, requiring professional dry cleaning rather than the home laundering possible with many types of civilian clothes.（1 分）(1) It is surprising that Americans who worship variety and individuality _______.（ 0.2 分）A.still judge a man by his clothesB.hold the uniform in such high regardC.enjoy having a professional identityD.will respect an elevator operator as much as a general in uniform标准答案： B(2) People are accustomed to think that a man in uniform _______.（ 0.2 分）A.suggests quality workB.discards his social identityC.appears to be more practicalD.looks superior to a person in civilian clothes标准答案： A(3) The chief function of a uniform is to _______.（ 0.2 分）A.provide practical benefits to the wearerB.make the wearer catch the public eyeC.inspire the wearer’ s confidence in himselfD.provide the wearer with a professional identity标准答案： D(4) According to the passage, people wearing uniforms _______.（ 0.2 分）A.are usually helpfulB.have little or no individual freedomC.tend to lose their individualityD.enjoy greater popularity标准答案： C(5) The best title for this passage would be _______.（ 0.2 分）A.Uniforms and SocietyB.The Importance of Wearing a UniformC.Practical Benefits of Wearing a UniformD.Advantages and Disadvantages of Uniforms标准答案： D10. Priscilla Ouchida’ s- efficient“energy ” house turned out to be a horrible dream. When she and her engineerhusband married a few years ago, they built a $100,000, three-bedroom home in California. Tightly sealed toprevent air leaks, the house was equipped with small double-paned ( 双层玻璃的 ) windows and several otherenergy-saving features. Problems began as soon as the couple moved in,however. Priscilla’ s eyes burned. Her throatwas constantly dry. She suffered from headaches and could hardly sleep. It was as though she had suddenlydeveloped a strange illness.Experts finally traced the cause of her illness. The level of formaldehyde (甲醛 ) gas in her kitchen was twice themaximum allowed by federal standards for chemical workers. The source of the gas? Her new kitchen cabinets andwall-to-wall carpeting.The Ouchidas are victims of indoor air pollution, which is not given sufficient attention partly because of thenation ’ s drive to save energy. The problem itself isn’ t new. “ The indoor environment was dirty long before en conservation came along,” says Moschandreas, a pollution scientist at Geomet Technologies in Maryland.conservation has tended to accentuate the situation in some cases.”The problem appears to be more troublesome in newly constructed homes rather than old ones. Back in the dayswhen energy was cheap, home builders didn’ t worry much about unsealed cracksauseof.Becsuch leaks, the air inan average home was replaced by fresh outdoor air about once an hour. As a result, the pollutants generated inmost households seldom build up to dangerous levels. （ 1 分）(1) It can be learned from the passage that the Ouchidas house ________.（0.2分）A.is well worth the money spent on its constructionB.is almost faultless from the point of energy conservationC.failed to meet energy conservation standardsD.was designed and constructed in a scientific way标准答案：B(2) What m ade the Ouchidas’ new house a horrible dream?（0.2分）ck of fresh air.B.Poor quality of building materials.C.Gas leakage in the kitchen.D.The newly painted walls.标准答案：A(3) The word“ accentuate” (Line 4, Para. 3) most probably means（0.2分“）________” .A.relieveB.accelerateC.worsenD.improve标准答案：C(4) Why were cracks in old houses not a big concern?（0.2分）。
